"...by decree of 17 Dec 1901 of the Austrian Statthalterei in Vienna the name Kohn was officially changed to Kerry (for Fritz, his wife Ida, geb. Löwe, and their son Erich) "

Although I understand that Jewish ancestry is traced through maternal lines, rather than through the father, I'm glad that John Kerry is Jewish by blood. It's about time we had a Jewish President- and this is one way to get one. This country is about diversity if it is anything at all.

Next time: a woman.
